Spanish Cold Soup Salmorejo
Soups • Spanish
Description
In Spain, there is a tradition of making cold soups from water, olive oil, bread, and vinegar, with the most famous being gazpacho. Salmorejo is its sibling. The differences are subtle: both soups blend all the listed ingredients with tomatoes, but in short, salmorejo is served with eggs and ham. It is perfect for hot days when you don't feel like eating a heavy meal but need to replenish your strength.
